We need everyone to pray for Will right now. He is not doing good at all.
Over the past two days doctors have had to go up on Will's ventilator settings all the way up to 32. (The highest setting he has ever been on) And he is on 100% oxygen. They have also put him on an IV drip for sedatives, one being a paralytic in hopes to keep him calm and let the ventilator do all the work. So far, nothing has seemed to work. Everytime they have to suction his trach, he de-sats... which means the oxygen levels inhis blood drop to dangerous levels. Normally, he can bounce right back to where he should be, but for some reason he has had a really tough time doing so.
Doctors can't explain why he is doing this. His chest x-ray shows no changes in his lungs. My biggest fear is that one of his blood clots has traveled into one of his lungs. To rule this out, they are going to do an echo of his chest to see if the clots have in fact moved.
We will update you as soon as we know something.
